Santa Anita
3rd race--
#4 SHARED IMAGE (7-2) First-time starter has trained in good style for the potent Owens-Stra combo (50% together with last 16 runners). The sophomore filly by Arizona sire Rocky Bar figures very live in this MC$50,000 spot.

Santa Anita
1st race--
#3 TEASING MOMENT (5-1) Let's try to start off the right way by taking 'MOMENT to win her second straight. She broke her maiden at 15-1 when making her first start for these connections and might come right back in this restricted claimer going 6 1/2 furlongs.

Santa Anita
4th race--
#3 ACUTE (5-2) Bottom-level claimer from Mitchell barn stretches out around two turns for the initial time and should be able to control things on the front end. With no one to run with her early, wave her long gone if she can negotiate the distance.

Santa Anita
3rd race--
#2 HOBBITS HERO (2-1) Claimed by Mullins six weeks ago and should pay dividends for red-hot trainer (who won first three races on Sunday). 'Hero appears to be lone speed, can fire fresh and should never look back vs. this group of sophomores.

Santa Anita
3rd race--
#4 MOON RIDE (2-1) Recent romping maiden winner from Puype barn was flattered when runner-up came back to win by open lengths in her next start. This daughter of Candy Ride should be able to handle the mile distance and will get a very comfortable trip forwardly placed on a soft pace under leading man Bejarano.
